THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE BUYING: Here's one of the more unusual American plastic snapshot cameras of the mid-century modern era, the Beacon Two-Twenty Five (or 225), made by Whitehouse Products of Brooklyn in the early 1950's, for 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch (6 x 6 cm) exposures on #620 roll film, featuring a compact design with pull-out front section that locks in place before the shutter will fire, and a surprisingly sharp 70mm coated doublet lens. In EXCELLENT overall condition, fully funct...ional, and very nicely preserved in its scarce original box! Buy-it-now for only $35, and shipping is absolutely free within the United States! I'll be liquidating a huge selection of items from an important major collection of classic toys and mid-century modern plastic cameras in the coming weeks, the majority of them mint in the original box, so please click on the link HERE to see all my current eBay listings. Okay, now take a look at this fantastic classic snapshot camera, but don't forget to read the payment and shipping information after the pic:
WHEN THE SALE ENDS: The buyer will immediately receive an invoice through eBay's automated e-mail notification system, but if you're considering more of my items, you might want to wait to pay until you receive my personalized bundled invoice after all your purchases are chosen. The buyer must prepay in US dollars by Paypal or some other more traditional method, and shipping is free within the USA. Worldwide buyers should use eBay's shipping calculator to determine the cost of USPS First Class Mail to their location for this 1 pound 14 ounce parcel. Now please remember, this is a genuine antique camera, over 60 years old, not a minty new item fresh from the factory, so there's a chance it could have additional little age related aches or pains I didn't notice, but it's still guaranteed to be as described, and if for some honest and understandable reason you're not satisfied, simply e-mail me first to verify instructions and then return the piece for a full refund, in compliance with eBay's guidelines, within fourteen (14) days after you receive it. Thanks for looking, and never forget, antique wood and brass and red bellows cameras rock!
